We met in May 2010 at a restaurant I was working at in Santa Monica. He was standing in the lobby of the restaurant and we made eye contact a few times.
He wasn't seated in my section so I didn't have any interaction with him to feel out his sexual preference. As he was leaving, I wrote my number on a piece of paper with a note that said, "Text me sometime - Jason." I gave the note to a co-worker who ran out after him to give it to him. An hour later, I was restocking coffee mugs when I hear someone with an Australian accent say, "Jason?" The note worked! I was just hoping for a text, but he came back to see me. AND HE'S AUSTRALIAN! SCORE!
Coincidentally we were both in Vegas the following weekend and fell in love instantly. On June 28th 2013, I woke up pretty early to watch the news because the decision for legalizing gay marriage was said to be announced at 7AM. Damian was still sleeping. At 7AM, they declared that DOMA was considered unconstitutional.
I was crying with happiness as I ran and woke up Damian to tell him about the good news. I turned on the TV to show him all the people rejoicing and celebrating. Everyone was so excited. I laid down next to Damian and held him tight. Pouring out of me came the words, "Will you marry me?" Without any hesitation he turned to me and said yes."
